    Unused slots in the PXI/LXI chassis are populated with blanking plates to prevent access to user I/O signals that may be present. Blanking panels are available to order from Pickering in a variety of slot widths. If the product is not used in this manner for example by using an extender card then additional care must be taken to avoid contact with exposed signals.

  • Page 17: Installation

    Modular products require installation in a suitable PXI/LXI chassis. The module is designed for indoor use only. PREOPERATION CHECKS (UNPACKING) 1. Check the module for transport damage and report any damage immediately to Pickering Interfaces. Do not attempt to install the product if any damage is evident.

  • Page 22: Module Architecture

    Channel 7 MODULE ARCHITECTURE 40-860 The 40-860 Modules utilise one or more MEMS switches depending on the option. In the default state the Channels Channel 8 selected are 1 to 3 and 2 to 4. Energising the MEMS switch appropriately switches the signal paths to the other output terminals.

  • Page 23: Programming The Module

    PROGRAMMING THE MODULE 40-860 Here are some simple examples of using the drivers with the 40-860 Insert/Bypass Switch Module. Channels 1 to 3 and 2 to 4 are the defaults. The Dual 2 Channel Switch Modules operate in the similar way but have a different number of bits in the sub-unit.

  • Page 29: Maintenance Information

    For PXI modules which are supported in one of Pickering Interfaces’ Modular LXI Chassis (such as the 60-102B and 60-103B) no module software update is required. If the module was introduced after the LXI chassis was manufactured the module may not be recognized, in this case the chassis firmware may need upgrading.
